Not if, but how: Artificial intelligence (AI) has arrived in companies. Now it is being decided whether pilot projects generate value and whether companies can bring together speed, security, and control. Digital X 2026 therefore not only demonstrates what AI can achieve technically, but also shows how it can be applied productively, scaled securely, and governed responsibly. With cloud. With security. And with digital solutions.
On 8 September in Cologne, Digital X offers the opportunity to explore all facets of AI as a "trending topic". It brings together technology, business implementation, and social and political questions at one place under the motto "Navigate What's Next".
On two stages, leading figures from business, politics, and society will discuss these topics. The speakers include, among others:
Masterclasses, guided tours, and experiential worlds provide concrete applications and technical evidence. Digital X showcases the full spectrum of modern enterprise applications. The expected 6,000 visitors will experience how cloud, security, AI agents, and digital sovereignty work together and how individual technologies give rise to concrete business solutions. Live demonstrations, expert discussions, and real-world use cases make innovations tangible and provide inspiration for your own digital
transformation.
Around the Chocolate Museum, various themed worlds are being created together with Deutsche Telekom and 90 other companies.
"Companies today don't need more promises about AI. They want to know what works, what prerequisites are necessary, and how they can retain control even as automation increases. Digital X provides exactly this guidance," says Klaus Werner, host of Digital X and Managing Director Business Customers, Telekom Deutschland.
